The committee held a rttecial session here today to take X'- hols' testimony, following the sen sational disclosures of Defective Reed and Thomas R. Felder, the Atlanta aitmncy. before the committee at Au gusta last Saturday. Nichols declared on the witness 'land that he was In such an intoxi cated condition at the time of the in 'rrvfews between himself and Detec 'i'. •• Reed, posing as Horace N. Pot - 'er. a Chicago lawyer, that he knew little of those interviews, as recorded by the dictagraph. He declared that '■oinr of ihe statements by him were 'o. ridiculous to be taken seriously. H» flatly denied some of the testi mony ;, s reported by the dictagraph. He positively denied that he had any intention of offering to bribe the gov 't nor and denied that he had done a big "pardon business” with the gov “ nor. He denied the statement that ■ was a delegate to the Democratic national convention at Baltimore, and 'hat he was instructed for Harmon, hut said that if he said this it was hile under the influence of Scotch whisky. Testimony Distorted. Nichols declared that the dictagraph testimony, taken in Spartanburg. Bal -1 iinoie an( j Washington hotels, had been distorted by transcribing stenog ’aphe s. H«- denied that lie . had tele graphed Reed to come to Spartanburg to close the pardon deal. He declared that a telegram introduced as having been received by Samuel .! Nichols Purporting to be from Reed, to the es- r e.'t that he had sent a New York Taft fn $20,000 for closing the pardon deal, was false. Ihe committee was In session thre° 'tours hearing Nichols’ testimony.

P. President Soothes Self and Inspires College Park With “Gabriel’s Horn.’’ The soft; sobbing sound whifth caught the ears of Atlanta's waking populace today was not Jupiter Pluvius sighing over so much work, but the new whis tle of the Atlanta and West Point en gine. with Charles A. Wickersham, president yrs the road, pn the lever. Thereby hangs a tale; also a tune. For years Wickersham has made a habit of riding in from his Col lege Park home on the engine of the morning local. Soon he fell to running the engine himself, and also to blowing the whistle long and unremittently. citizens of East Point began to recog nize the "Wiekersham toot”—it held for four measures, then sprang into several staccaio yelps. t’rom this, it may be gathered that President Wiekersham was very fond of whistlish sounds. A few days ago he was up North, traveling on the Pennsylvania road, and he heard a new and weirdly sweet whistle. To the ears of President Wiekersham it was more enticing than the call of a siren. He determined to have that whistle. Through railroad yards and terminal stations, up mountainsides and through the valleys he trailed the engine with that weird, sweet siren oall until his chase was rewarded. The whistle proved to be a very commonplace af fair. but it's note was like that of Ga briel's trumpet. The end of the stbry was that Pres ident Wiekersham bought the whistle. Now it's installed on the morning local, where he can toot it every morning to his vast satisfaction and the inspiration of the populace. BROWN’S REGISTRATION IDEA IS INCORPORATED IN BLALOCK’S MEASURE Governor Joseph M. Browns oppo sition to the present registration law enacted during the first Hoke Smith administration in 1908. has borne ftuit. A bill, sponsored by Senator H. C. Bla lock. which proposes sweeping changes in the statute of registration, has been sent to the upper house. The registration law. long regarded as the political prey of the opposing factions of Georgia Democracy, now re quires the registration books io close six months prior to the date of the general election. Prior to August 25. 1908 the registration books closed 20 days before the date set for the gen eral election. The Blalock bill, as introduced in the senate, requires tax collectors to keep the registration books open until 30 days before the date of the election. This measure is a big change in the di rection urged by Governor Brown in his annual message to the legislature. In attacking the present law the gov ernor asserted that fully 100.000 Geor gia voters were being disfranchised annually by its operation. He said the law worked an especial hardship ot the farmers. who were deprived not only of voting in state primaries and elections but also in the Federal elec tions. BAD ACTOR FINED; WANTED TO CLEAN FELLOW TfJESPIAN When Charles Brewer and Percy Spellman, both vaudeville actor'. were arraigned today in police court for creating a scene at Broad and Mariet ta streets. Brewer said his fellow ac toi had threatened to clean up the earth with him. but took pity because of his small size." Brewer said he told Spellman not to worry about his size, and asked him several times to "go on and clean up the earth." The evidence showed that Spellman struck at Brewer one time and knocked off his hat. This was the extent of 'the tight. Witnesses said the two actols had been in an argument for some time, and that Spellman seemed to be the agres sot. Recorder Broyles tined Spellman $10.75 and dismissed Brewer WOMAN BEATING CHILD WITH SPIKED WHIP HELD NEW YORK. July 18.

WYLIE SMITH FEARS PLOT, NOT LAW, RESITS Atlanta Fugitive, in Juarez Jail, Tells Georgian Reporter He’s Been ‘‘The Goat.” EXTRADITION PROBLEM WORRYING PINKERTONS Rebel Chiefs. Planning to Evacuate Border Town, May Free Prisoner Again. EL PASO. TEXAS, July 18.—" lam not guilty of all that they say. but 1 could not go back and face the frame up against me,” is the way J. Wylie Smith explains his cohtinued absence in .Mexico, though wanted in Atlanta on the charge of embezzlement. Smith said when arrested that he made up his mind when released in Chihuahua by the rebels that he would come to El Paso and surrender, but that his heart failed him when he got to Juarez, and he decided to go into hiding for a time. He was discovered by Pink erton men and arrested while hiding. "I am not fraid to go'back if I could get a fair trial," sa’id Smith; "but the books were framed up on me to protect other people, and they will swear against me. I am out of money. My family has no money, if | had stolen what they say I did. would I be broke now? I have nothing. Forty-five cents was all J had when they arrested me. Rebels May Free Prisoner Again. Smith was arrested by Pinkertons in Juarez last night and is now in the jail of the little Mexican border town pending his own decision and that of the rebel officers If he decides that he will "face the music.” as he says he once made up his mind, several weeks ago. to do. he will be turned over immediately to the United States. ' , If he does not decide to come, he may be turned over, anyhow; he may be freed, or he may be kept in prison until the federals come to retake Juarez and then be given a regular extradition trial. Pinkertons Sure They Will Get Him .1, Wylie Smith is in jail In Jaurez. Mexico—really arrested, locked up, in carcerated. The Pinkerton men have got him. but he hasn’t been brought across the boundary yet, and there is the hitch. The Atlanta Pinkerton office is cer tain, however, it will land hifti on the American side. The Pinkertons here received the fol lowing telegram early today from the man in charge of their Houston. Texas, office; Wvlie Smith arrested in Jaurez. He claims he was legally released and can not be arrested on the same charge again. General Orozco of fered to give him transportation back to <'hihuahua. The Atlanta office wired at once tp its representative to consult the Amer ican consul and take steps to bring Smith across the line. The Mexican government is willing and anxious to assist the American de partment of state In sending Smith bars Jo Atlanta, but the rebel leader. Orozco, seems to have become friendly with Smith and may resist any at tempt to remove him from Mexican soil. An Atlanta officer will leave today or tomorrow, armed with all the legal pa pers necessary, and attempt to gain possession of Smith and bring him across th- Rio Grande. WAREHOUSE PAYS 15 PER CENT.

BASEBALL AND RACING Charley Frank Refuses To Play Today and Crackers Again Rest NEW ORLEANS. July 18.—Charley Frank decided this morning that he did not care to play off the postponed game with the Crackers today. And. according to the schedule, this is an off-day for the Crackers and the Peli cans. And. as the home manager has very much the say-so in matters of this char acter — There was no game todaj’ between the ancient rivals—the Crackers and the Pel icans Incidentally, it is also an off-day for Mobile and Chattanooga. And incidentally again, rain smeared it self ail over the American league—with the consequence that there were no games up there either. And also New York and Pittsburg in the National league suffered a rain visit. Which made baseball for this day some what lacking. RACES RESULTS. AT WINDSOR.
